The Team

I qualified in 1985 from the University of Sheffield School of Clinical Dentistry and worked in several practices in Norfolk before settling in Reepham in 1993. Between 1992 and 1995 I held a part time position as clinical assistant in orthodontics (correcting teeth irregularities) at West Norwich Hospital. I am passionate about continuing my education and in 1996 I achieved a diploma in general dental practice at the Royal College of Surgeons. I then gained a certificate in endodontics (root canal treatment) from the Eastman Dental Hospital in London in 2005 to further develop an interest in this area of dentistry.

I am happily married with three children and I enjoy walking, cycling, golf, table tennis and anything I do with my family.

I studied and gained my qualifications as a dentist at the University of Dentistry Debrecen/ Hungary in 2011 and then in 2013 I moved to the United Kingdom for both the professional and cultural experience. I worked as a dentist in London, where I carried out a broad range of general dental treatments as well as dental hygiene. I also worked at a teeth whitening company during this 2 year period.

After I met my husband I relocated to Norwich and I joined the Reepham Dental Centre in 2016. I am truly honoured to be a part of such a great team and relish the opportunity to have a positive impact on each and every patient’s oral health.

I am a very active person. In my spare time I love cycling with my

husband and we often compete in off road Mountain Bike races. I am also extremely passionate about opera singing.
